Molekin Mine

The Train arrived in the Molekin Mine. There the team met up with Blobbers from the Shattered Islands.

"Hey you're the ones who saved our people from when that tornado hit our town." Blobbers said, "But I'm afraid we need your help once again."

"Don't tell us let me guess," Drago said, "The Molekin miners are trapped behind rocks."

"Pretty much," Blobbers said, "We were digging well the Molekin were digging and I was supervising and we were able to find the Crucible of the Ages though and the miners are alive but we need to rescue them. They're trapped in the tunnels."

"Just tell us where they are and we'll handle the rest." Sara said.

"They're right in the mines." The Mabu supervisor said, "But boulders from the cave in trapped them down there."

"Leave it to us." Cody said summoning Terrafin to help as Bash stepped forward.

"Alright Terrafin you know how we do this." Bash said rolling up into his ball form and clearing out the boulders.

"This is cake walk," Terrafin said punching out the rocks into rubble, "I could do this all day."

"Terrafin focus." Rose reminded, "We've got trapped miners to save."

So Terrafin didn't say anything else as he went to work breaking up the boulders with Bash helping him. Between the two of them they cleared the way to get farther into the access tunnel where they saw one of the Molekin. They then saw that the Molekin miner was surrounded by Flame Imps.

"My guess is that those flame creatures are responsible for the cave in that occurred." Colleen said as she used her water powers to put them out.

"I don't think so," Sara said, "that may be a fire creature but I think that the cave in might have been caused by all this shaking."

"Sounds like this mine is close to a Volcano," Ice guessed, "Not a safe place to dig for something."

"Either way lets go rescue the molekin." Chrissie said as they went over to the miner.

The miner seemed to be intimidated at first but then managed to thank them and escape to the Mabu Supervisor waiting at the entrance.

"That's one miner rescued." Hsi Wu said, "Six more to go."

"How do you know that Hsi Wu?" Drago asked.

"Because I can hear six more mole voices down here," Hsi Wu said, "Perhaps if we split up we can all find them quickly."

"For one Hsi Wu came up with a good plan." Rose said, "Let's split up in teams of two."

So Drago and Colleen went in one direction, Cody and Hsi Wu went in another direction while Ice and Chrissie went in a different direction looking for the missing Molekin Miners. Meanwhile Rose and Sara began chatting as they themselves went to go follow the tracks to the end of the area.

"You think splitting up the group was a good idea?" Rose said as the Arkeyan Twins walked down the mine still feeling the seismic activity.

"Actually yes," Sara replied, "We can cover more ground easier in smaller groups and besides this gives us an excuse to discuss what's been happening as of late."

"True so perhaps we should discuss teaching Ice about the Eternal Undead Source." Rose grinned, "He's really going to love what he can do with that power."

"Considering how we've used the Eternal Undead Source on that brat Stacey I'm not surprised." Sara smirked, "Not to mention how we used the source on the rest of the popular posse. Either way let's go see where the rest of the track leads."

Rose agreed as the two of them met up with the rest of the JTeens and Diggs. They could see that he found the Crucible of the Ages but he was in terrible pain.

"I take it that you found everyone in the mine?" Rose asked.

"That we did Rose," Cody said, "But we ran into some new enemies."

"As well as an orange robot that could punch through rocks." Hsi Wu spoke up as he gave a description of the robot causing the twins to pale.

"Rose, Sara?" Colleen asked, "What's wrong?"

"You two look like you heard Hsi Wu and Cody saw something that shouldn't have been seen." Chrissie added.

"That's because they did see something that hasn't been seen." Sara replied, "In over 10,000 years."

"What is it?" Drago asked.

"We'll tell you later right now we've got to tend to Diggs." Rose said as they tended to Diggs.

"You saved everyone." Diggs said, "Thank you but I'm afraid when I dug my way here I injured my leg and now I'm in terrible pain."

"Then let's get you out of here as soon as possible." Cody suggested.

"Wait a minute," Diggs said picking up a metal circular object. "In my agony I almost forgot. I managed to find the Crucible of the Ages."

"I'd love to hug everyone but we should get out of here right now." Drago said as he picked up Diggs passed him to Hsi Wu as he held on to the crucible.

Everyone then raced back to the entrance of the mine while Hsi Wu flew being careful not to drop Diggs or the Crucible. Soon they met up with Blobbers back at the entrance near the locomotive with all the Molekin miners surrounding him.

"You did it," Blobbers said, "You saved everyone. And there's good news."

"What's the good news?" Colleen asked.

"All this seismic activity has revealed new train tracks," Blobbers replied, "Tracks that go deeper and are hidden in a tunnel back there."

"Hello, Miner in terrible pain here." Diggs reminded, "Grab that Crucible and let's get out of here."

So the team headed into the carriage behind the locomotive and with Chrissie at the controls they all got out of the mine and headed back to the Ruins.

"The Crucible of the Ages," Eon's voice said as the team held the Crucible of the Ages, "Made to withstand the terrible force of a thousand burning suns."

The Team watched as the Crucible added itself to the Core of Light by placing itself right at the bottom platform of the Great Machine.

Meanwhile back at Kaos' flying fortress Kaos was walking through the halls to his portal.

"Glumshanks." The little tyrant yelled startling his butler.

"Yes Lord Kaos?" Glumshanks asked.

"I have a Job for you. Those cursed Skylanders, Arkeyan Twins and those big fakers of portal masters have interfered with my plans to become emperor of Skylands for the last time." Kaos bellowed as he walked to the portal and Glumshanks helped him up, "But you Glumshanks, you can stop them."

"Me?" the troll asked.

"See things are," Kaos responded, "Very bad for us right now."

"But you said the darkness was spreading. You said that it didn't matter what they did. You said…" Glumshanks reminded before Kaos interrupted.

"Forget what I said." Kaos yelled before composing himself. "Look Glumshanks, All we need to do is keep them from getting one. One of the Eternal Sources and it'll all be over. Which brings me to you, old friend."

Glumshanks looked confused before Kaos continued explaining.

"All you have to do is make your way deep underground, sneak past the deadly lava guardians, and withstand the deadly heat of a scorching volcano to sabotage the train tracks of the mine train." Kaos said, "Meanwhile I'll go on ahead and go after the Eternal Fire Source myself."

Kaos then laughed while Glumshanks was still confused at what he had to do.

"See Glumshanks there's more than one way to Derail their plans." Kaos said before laughing loudly.

"Please tell me you did not just say that." Glumshanks said as he headed out to do his task.

"Oh I did." Kaos said before laughing loudly again.

Back at the Core of Light Colleen used the Eternal Water Source to heal up Diggs' injuries as well as those of the Molekin Miners while they were at the Train. Hugo was briefing the team on the next part of the situation.

"The Core of Light is nearly complete." Hugo said "But we're not done yet."

"So where do these Train Tracks go now?" Chrissie asked.

"These tracks go deep." Rose answered, "Right to the Lava Lakes."

"It is there that we'll find the Eternal Fire Source." Sara answered much to Ice's enjoyment.

"Sounds like I'd be right at home there." Ice said. "Fire's my element."

"And being a Dragon I can withstand the heat." Drago added.

"That sounds dangerous." Diggs whimpered.

"Relax Diggs," Hsi Wu said, "Drago's more dangerous than anything we'll see down there. We can handle this."

"Hold up Hsi Wu," Hugo said, "Only creatures of the deep live there."

"At least it will be warm." Diggs said, "So I'll go get the train ready."

"You do that Diggs." Sara said, "There's something we need to show Ice. It involves the Eternal Undead Source."

The group then walked to the Great Machine while Ice had some questions for Rose and Sara about the Eternal Undead Source.

"So what do you have to show me about the Eternal Undead Source?" Ice asked.

"Well the Undead Element involves the Supernatural," Rose said, "That means you now have the power to summon Spirits, Ghouls or zombies to aid you in battle."

"Or you can call upon ghosts to have them do what you want." Sara said, "Here we'll show you."

So Rose and Sara combined their powers to create a magic window. In the window they could see the Popular Posse still miserable from having to endure detention with Uncle for the month and having to endure working in his shop every day after school for the next two months

"Now watch this." Rose said as she tapped into the powers given to her by the Eternal Undead Source.

She then had some phantoms appear in the San Fran and dump paint and garbage all over the Popular Posse. And if that wasn't bad enough they then had the spirits alter the outfits from an outdated era. The ghosts then took pictures of the outfits and sent them right to Sophie as more ghouls dumped manure on them.

Ice was laughing his head off as he saw what Rose could do with the Eternal Undead Source as the rest of the JTeens were enjoying the demonstration of the Eternal Undead Source. The window then showed everyone in the city pointing and laughing at the popular posse before the image faded.

"So what did you guys think of the demonstration?" Sara asked.

"I loved the demonstration." Ice said happily at having ghosts to make life hell for Stacey.

"I wish I had a demonstration with the Eternal Tech Source." Chrissie said, "Then I could use it to its full potential."

"Actually you'll get your chance," Rose said in a cryptic tone, "Sooner than you think."

"But for now let's go get the Eternal Fire Source." Colleen said as the team hopped in the Passenger car behind the train and Diggs led the group down to the Lava Lakes Railway.

Next Time:

The Team find themselves in the Lava Lakes Railway which literally lives up its name as they race for the Eternal Fire Source and battle the Creatures of the Deep to get it. And later they then battle Kaos for the Eternal Fire Source and it may be the fiercest battle yet. Who will survive the Volcano and who will get burned? Read and review to find out.
